by Mercedes-Benz Live, the Brooklands brand experience center hosted
the End of Season Grand Prix Event on Sunday 8th November 2009.
Highlights included brushing shoulders with Lewis Hamilton, David
Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen, Heikki Kovalainen and Ross Brawn plus some
familiar faces on the presenter front. For those who haven't heard an
F1 car before and even those that have, the sound was phenomenal being
just feet away from the track. F1 cars included Mclaren Mercedes with
Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen show boating with
donuts, burn outs, drifting on the wet circle by Lewis and general
crowd pleasing. The Brawn F1 cars made an appearance on the track but
no Button present, however Hamilton did note he wouldn't mind having
him as a team mate at Mclaren next year. The Mercedes DTM car weighing
in at just over a ton with 500 bhp was a fire spitting monster! The
sound made the F1 pace car seem like an SL350 in comparison. A
fantastic day out and all free to the public if they made their
registrations on the Mercedes-Benz World website within four days of
the event being announced.
